I interviewed shortly after the submission date with and an adcom member on-campus. She was very friendly and the interview flowed more like a conversation compared to the other schools I interviewed at. She had set up the questions where they naturally progressed into the next topic so it didn’t feel as if I was just answering and waiting for the next question.
Interview questions
- She asked for examples regarding when I had worked with someone challenging.
- A time I had failed / things did not go the way as planned and what I did.
- Lastly, we discussed how everything I mentioned connected back to Kellogg.
- Culture and fit were important parts of the conversation, but I would say the other significant aspect was providing clear examples of how I plan to contribute and how I would grow from specifically from Kellogg’s program.
I was accepted and am thrilled to attend!
